We also might include location? Not required as a heading; could be included in About the role or a separate paragraph. The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could add a short p under About the role or after. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could add location there. However we should not invent sections. Could add a
after About the role for location. But we need to preserve all substantive info. Location is substantive. We could add a
under About the role after the values paragraph. Or we could create a separate heading like "Location" but not in allowed list. Better to fold into About the role. Let's adjust About the role paragraph to include location at end. Add: "Located at Rhode Island Hospital, 593 Eddy Street, Providence, RI 02903." Now ensure we didn't repeat any boilerplate. Remove EEO etc. Check for any duplicated lines: we have "Minimum two years clinical experience..." appears once. Check for any placeholders like "commensurate with experience" - none. Check for Pay/Schedule/Benefits: we have Pay and Schedule. Check for Benefits: none, so we omit. Now ensure we used
for section headings. We used
